Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Actually think MoodyBlues are great example of the transition from Psych to Prawg.
Always thot it was essentially when people started to take Rawk 'seriously' as (potential) Art. I guess that's not descriptive. Classical influences ~ aspirations.
Concepts / Concept Albums (I've landed on the Medium Is the Massage here: The Concept was that Albums are Albums - a thing itself not just a collection of trax.) The Explorers' Room program on the Drummer stream has made explicit how far ahead Lounge & Exotica actuality were of Pop~Rawk in this...
Then there is the hybridization of Jazz & Rawk - another way of bringing complexity, musical accomplishment & 'seriousness' into the Popular arena... & probly the beginning of thinking in terms of Fusions for most of us. I think Wynton Marsalis had a good point that historically - Rawk is a branch on the Jazz tree in fact. Endless things could be said about this...
A Folk element - certainly a strong natural instinct (so to speak) in the UK one should think - another way some intricacy, musical technical ability - & a sense of deeper resonant Meaning can all come in...

Not fun? I wouldn't accuse prog of being not fun!

Maybe you could just possibly make a case for it being just a tiny bit self-obsessed, up its own bottom, high on its own supply...

...but the net result usually seemed to turn out fun (at least for me as a listener).

Sometimes, though, events were tragically on the nose:

After the Spartacus album, Helmut Köllen left Triumvirat to start a solo career. Two years later, he died of carbon monoxide poisoning when he was in his car, in the garage, listening to his own compositions on the car's cassette player.

@dday: Zombies were early example of a proggy pop band. You also mentioned Journey, a later example of a proggy pop band.

This is making me think of how into Steve Hackett's Voyage of the Acolyte a couple of friend's and I were. It was about a decade after it came out, but it was part of our way into the whole prog thing. I was only three when it came out, so I got into it in the early 80s. Sometime around Discipline and/or Three of a Perfect Pair.

The narrative that Rick Wakeman taking a paint roller to his keys is why Punk happened.
Never seemed like it to me.
Prawg & Punk both Underground - other then commercial mainstream from where I sat.
There's the Bowie - Eno - Iggy sort of connections. Prawg & NewWave actually having some perceived simpatico...
So I'm intrigued by this distinction with ArtRawk.
Punk is like dADa after all ...that's Art. TheRamones are exquisitely *designed*.
Tho dADa aspired to be AntiArt...
Among the Ideas that Prawg sometimes espoused were Social ones ...tho I can't think of much that was overtly Political ? The Collective seems a natural association... Various bands tried to live it as they conceived it...

Zappa & the Mothers - We're only In It For The Money is Avant/RIO. Love that too.

Y'all can definitely count on Dave Mandl to hit your RIO / ReR / Cutlerized Frithy Euro prog. I'm trying to do a 7" prog hour, highly limiting I'm afraid!

Still barely begun to know the early Genesis. (How did that happen? Or not happen.) So far ...seems to me like a KingCrimson that hasn't reached puberty yet.
Mothers were dADa all day long.

Between 1973 & 76 I saw Genesis a bunch of times. People can slag Phil Collins all they want BUT he was an incredible drummer

Used to see RAEL spray painted in places and thought is there some metal reference I’m not aware of. Didn’t seem very Genesis to be tagging walls.

Zappa whole concept of Project / Object (all of his music being able to be arranged in endless combinations) is pretty proggy

For someone who wasn't really prog, Zappa was WAY prog. The MOI kicked all kinds of ass.

Anyone else used to get into that really early recording of Porcupine Tree at Shephard's Bush Empire from 2001? It was recorded through the board and it got around for a while. Insane production and playing!!! SO GOOD! Find it...here's the details: www.concertarchives.org...

when the band sings about the sun or sunshine chances are it's prog rock

www.progarchives.com... 76% of people on ProgArchives think Zappa is Prog but they are wrong. I agree with the minority who say "Zappa was progressive, but not a prog artist.". That is the correct understanding.

What’s the difference between Prog and Fusion? Like is Mahavishnu Fusion or Prog? Sorry for my lame question, thanks for any clarification!
